About the session

Textbooks, monographs, reports, handbooks, collected essays, novels, poetry collections – many formats of ‘long-form’ material continue to flourish and evolve.  Why does printed text continue to be so popular?  Now that they are more established, how are e-versions fitting into this picture?  This event will examine the status of the e-book in the academic context, and review the latest analysis and developments in relation to teaching, learning and research.
